Why do this with two of the most wonderful characters throughout the game =S I'm outraged! Characters like Chaz and Rika, for me personally, by functional interaction are (these two in the team have all the most necessary Skill and Tech) ...And, if it is a remake of why so many changes? You could just create a separate game, Prehistory about Alys, how and why she became a hunter and other)))) (sorry for my engl)
That is my eventual aim, to make a prequel to this whole game, but it's shelved for the time being. I simply don't have the time to make two games at once. I really dislike Shorty and Rika, they didn't do anything for me, apart from being a bunch of cliches (sword-swinging hero, cute sidekick) as well as
blatant rip-offs from Rolf and Nei in PS2.
Even Chaz's character portrait (status pic) looks as though it was taken from Rolf's! I admit that even Alys and Hahn were based off Anna and Hugh respectively, but they're not as obvious as Shorty and Rika. For one, their character portraits are different. ^^ I'm ranting, I admit it, but this is the 21st century and I can now voice what I've been meaning to say for a very, very long time....
PS4 is basically rehashing all the ideas from PS2 and there's no creativity and no originality. The game's storyline was it's weakest point, I'm afraid, and in this day and age, I simply can't allow that anymore. It's been done to death already, and I'm having a hard time recreating the game by introducing new ideas but at the same time, holding on to the series' legacy. Which involves a bunch of cliches... You have to bear in mind that I'm introducing this game to a new audience as well, not just the PS fans.
Well, enough of that now. I have some nice ideas, but haven't gotten down to putting it on paper yet.
- I'm thinking of re-introducing the Skure spaceport and Nei dungeons (along with the Nei items)
in the game. I'll take out the Elsydeon and replace it with the Nei Sword. ( the former is far too common in today's RPGs, magic/light-based element weapon that can defeat the ultimate evil...
- The storyline will undergo some drastic changes. I'm trying to eliminate the cliches... When you have an adult, female protagonist, one simply can't make the story as predictable as the original PS4's. While working on my creative writing skills.
Some screencaps.
So that's it for now. Yell at me for all you want, flame me for everything I'm worth, but I really have no choice. No one wants a rehash of a "classic".
